we did in the write-up note that i do think barack obama is still ahead in the state. and as you mentioned, you can always follow their feet where they're going. mitt romney's spending a huge amount of time in ohio in the next few days, as is, i would say, barack obama. i think both campaigns recognize this is a not only a close race, because there are a lot of close races in states, but this is a place that mitt romney probably has to have. so, if ever there's going to be a place where they both fight because of the stakes are so high, i think ohio's it. i think it belongs where we now have it, which is in those eight states, ones we know, florida, new hampshire, iowa, virginia, nevada, colorado, new hampshire, i think ohio belongs in that group. i put it on myself i should have put it in there a few days before now. >> mark halperin, take a look at nbc news poll, iowa, president up but wisconsin and new hampshire, we're talking about a really closely fought race. >> based on the totality of the public and private polling the only us in is on governor romney to depp s

the new franklin-marshall polls showing president obama with a 49% to 45% edge. it's down from last month. there are some areas in pennsylvania that are critical on the east coast, blue collar workers, that the president needs. what do we make of how this might impact voter turnout, voter enthusiasm, and even people's ability to go to the polls? >> well, i think, as you point out, everything right now comes down to voter turnout. in a state where you see the polls close, what we see is each of the campaigns trying to say, you know, the romney campaign saying, oh, we're making up a lot of ground, we're going to run some ads in pennsylvania, and the obama campaign is saying, oh, come on, you're not going to win pennsylvania. there's a lot of head fake going on there because what you want to get your voters out is a sense of momentum. your vote could make the difference, and we've got the mentum so you need to get out there for us, so what each campaign really needs to do is get up that enthusiasm level to get those voters to the polls in every state. not only it is

so florida is more likely to tip into obama' side, but there are big differences in these polls. some of the more local polls in florida have put romney ahead. i think it's still a nail biter in florida. could go either way. but it's for sure romney's need to win state. >> okay, pennsylvania now with you, perry. the romney camp appears to be making a play for that state, spending about $10 million in ad right now. mitt romney is adding a stop there tomorrow. paul ryan will be there today. there are a lot of theories on why his camp is doing this. what's your take, perry? >> my theory is they're struggling in ohio so much they have to try to make a play somewhere else. the president probably can't win the elections without winning pennsylvania. that said he's been leading in every poll in pennsylvania throughout this race. romney hasn't campaigned in pennsylvania up until now. last ditch effort a little desperate i think. but it shows you the challenge they're having in ohio where the president has maintained the lead throughout this race and no republican has ever won without win
